ما ذكر في الكف عن أصحاب النبي ﷺNarrations Regarding Refraining from Criticizing the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Hadith 34587
٣٤٥٨٧ - حدثنا أبو الأحوص عن منصور عن إبراهيم عن عبيدة عن عبد اللَّه قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "خير أمتي القرن الذين يلوني، ثم الذين يلونهم، ثم الذين يلونهم، ثم يجيء قوم تسبق شهادة أحدهم يمينه، ويمينه شهادته" (١).
Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best era of my Ummah is the one which is joined with me. Then the era which is joined with those companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Then those people who are joined with them. Then a people will come in which a person's testimony will precede his oath, and his oath will precede his testimony.
